81st Anniversary of Warsaw Uprising

Once again, we celebrate the memory of the fallen heroes and the murdered civilians...



... once again we ask our German friends and neighbours about the proper commemorating of Polish victims of WW2. Once again we are met with deafening silence.

Luckily, the butcher of Warsaw, Heinz Reinefarth...



... the one who reported to his superiors that he cannot kill all the civilians because he doesn't have enough ammo (sometimes his soldiers creatively threw Polish infants into the burning buildings, hence saving ammunition), and who sent a message to Himmler with best wishes and a souvenir from the loot, was properly punished after the war... erm... no wait a minute...

... he wasn't. His genocidal past didn't matter at all in the post-war Germany - he was a respected mayor of a seaside town (Westerland on Sylt island). He was the mayor until 1963 and was then elected to Schleswig-Holstein landtag.

Let's again pray for the souls of slaughtered civilians and fallen insurgents.

Lest we forget... lest we forget...

Next time, try "remember". Only sick idiots would "celebrate" 250,000 useless and self-inflicted deaths.

What about the 9/11 monument? Built by a sick idiot, I guess.

Honoring the memories of those who were murdered and those who fought bravely in battle is essential. Recognizing their sacrifices ensures that we never forget their stories and the lessons learned from their lives.

Bravery is when you risk your life and yours only, not mine. If you want to risk mine, you need my consent.

Also, for what reason...To save lives - bravery. To play politics - recklessness. Majority of Polish cities and towns were abandoned by the Germans without any drama.

So why Warsaw? It was Warsaw to tell the Red Army that Poland is back in business so don't even think about importing a Soviet-friendly government.

OK, said the Soviets, have it your way and die...We can wait until you do...Brilliant.

Hear, hear all!

The more memory dims, the more their deeds will be forgotten.

The political aspects of the uprising do not affect the importance of remembering those who lost their lives. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on the matter, but honoring the memories of those who perished is still essential. English is not Torq's first language, so his choice of words may be unclear. While there isn't anything to celebrate, it is a good opportunity for remembrance and reflection.

Well said.

A moment of silence...no words are needed or proper beyond:

Warsaw Uprising

August 1944 - October 1944

RIP

That's it.

I couldn't agree more.


You, by contrast, are a complete and utter moron!
